Elon Musk unveils Grok 4 in the middle of the controversy on the anti -Semitic messages of Chatbot
Elon Musk on Thursday, Grok 4, the latest IA model from XAI, unveiled its initiative of several billion dollars to compete with Openai and Google. Without citing detailed evidence, Musk said that the ACES model has standardized tests and has knowledge at doctorate in a wide range of different disciplines.
“Grok 4 is a third cycle level in everything,” Musk said in a live broadcast, which started after midnight in New York. “At least with regard to academic issues, Grok 4 is better than the level of doctorate in each subject. No exception. “
XAI did not immediately respond to a request for wired comments to find out if he plans to publish an official technical report on Grok 4 detailing his capacities and limits. The developers of competitors, such as Openai and Google, have regularly published similar publications for their models.
Users can access GROK 4 via the website or the GROK application for $ 30 per month. Access to a larger version known as Grok 4 Heavy costs $ 300 per month. Later this year, XAI aims to publish additional models well suited to software coding tasks and to generate videos, according to Thursday’s presentation.
Musk, who is CEO of XAI, did not address recent Grok criticisms. In the past few days, a version of AI integrated into Musk’s social media platform praised Adolf Hitler and provided anti-Semitic responses to several X user invites. In response, XAI, who owns X, announced Tuesday that he would take measures to “prohibit hate speeches before Grok’s publications on X.” Wednesday, Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, announced that it was leaving the company without developing its reasoning or its plans.
During the live broadcast on Thursday, Musk said that, according to his “biological neuronal net”, AI systems should be optimized “to be as much as possible and encouraged” to be truthful, honorable and good things – like the values ​​you want to instill in a child who would finally grow to be incredibly powerful “.
Musk co -founded XAI in 2023 after Openai came out Chatgpt and sparked an investment wave in AI generating technologies that can automatically produce text, code, audio, images and videos. XAI launched the first version of Grok in November of the same year and Grok 2 made its debut last August. Grok 3, which was published last February, is available for free.
Musk said Grok was designed to have a feeling of rumor and rebellion. On its website, XAI says that its mission is to create precise AI systems and to help people acquire knowledge.
The announcement of the late product on Thursday started more than an hour late and presented Musk seated on a sofa with two XAI colleagues in front of a dark background. The trio boasted of Grok’s abilities, displaying slides that aimed to show how the model surpasses the other AI programs. But Musk also admitted that he still had significant weaknesses.
“These are still primitive tools, not the type of tool that serious commercial companies use,” he said.
Musk predicted that Grok would discover new technologies next year, if not later this year. However, he said: “Sometimes it can lack common sense, and he has not yet invented new technologies, nor discovered a new physics.”
